Jewelry Warranty
Assay Jewelers (AJ) strives to ensure that each new jewelry item arrives in perfect condition. Vintage, pre-owned, and antique jewelry is not covered under the jewelry warranty. Watches, including vintage and pre-owned, are covered separately under our Watch Warranty. If you notice a defect upon arrival, please contact our Customer Care team via live chat or email us at info@assayjewelers.com, and we will resolve the issue promptly.
Warranty Coverage: AJ offers a complimentary 3-year limited warranty on all fine jewelry purchases. This warranty covers any issues due to manufacturing defects, including:
- Loose diamonds or gemstones
- Loose prongs
- Missing pavé stones
- Broken clasps
- Broken soft chains
Warranty Period Details:
- First Year: Within the first year of purchase, AJ will correct any issues related to manufacturing defects or quality at no cost to you.
- Year 2 to Year 3: From the second year up to three years from the date of delivery, you can send any piece back for inspection. For damages considered to be a manufacturing defect or quality-related issue, AJ will repair the piece at no cost. For damages resulting from normal wear and tear, a repair fee will be assessed and communicated to you for approval before proceeding.
- Post 3 Years: Beyond the three-year warranty period, AJ will assist with repairs for a fee, plus applicable taxes and a shipping charge of $35.
Exclusions: This warranty does not cover damage from normal wear and tear, which may include, but is not limited to:
- Scratches
- Dents
- Stretched or kinked chains
- Misshapen bands
- Cracked stones
Additionally, resizes and lost or stolen items are not covered under this warranty.
Made-to-Order Items: Items that are custom made or made to order may have their warranty voided on a case-by-case basis, depending on the specific nature of the item and circumstances.
Additional Services: For assistance with any issues concerning your AJ jewelry, visit our support page at help.assayjewelers.com for detailed instructions on proceeding with a repair.
